Reviews: Kaikōura: Kayak Sunset Tour with Seal Sightings

Guest User2026-01-04

Nice, relaxed kayaking. Our tour guide Logan had a lot of interesting information to share on seals. The pedal kayaks are easy to use and since your hands are free, it's easy to take a picture "on the go".

Reviews: Kaikoura: Whale Watching Cruise

Guest User2026-01-10

Very professionally organized, much better than the whale watching tours we did in Hawaii and Norway. As a result, we were able to enjoy two whales with all the trimmings.

Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup

Guest User2025-12-28

The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!

Reviews: Kaikoura: 1-Hour Whale Watching Helicopter Tour

Guest User2025-03-25

The tour was great, but I would have preferred to spend the entire tour spotting whales instead of flying up the mountain and landing there. The name of the tour is a one-hour whale-watching tour.
